Version 1.2

Riverside - Multistage Drive ®

pg 2

Technology Overview – Multistage Drive Topology

Riverside achieves its sound by passing the signal through a cascade of individual gain stages. Dynamic complexity and additional harmonics are generated at each stage as the signal travels from one stage to the next.

STAGE ONE: Class A Analog JFET Input Gain Stage

Touch response and dynamic interaction with your guitar are optimized with the class A JFET input gain stage. This analog gain stage is digitally controlled to maximize headroom and noise performance while adding as much as 20dB of analog gain.

STAGE TWO, THREE AND FOUR: Tube-Inspired DSP Gain Stages

Our analysis of tube gain circuits has resulted in a wide-band series of cascading gain stages that are detailed, rich and full of complex harmonics. At each stage, more harmonics are generated and the signal dynamically evolves as the inter-stage circuitry optimally conditions the response for the following stage.

VARIABLE CIRCUIT TUNING

Riverside’s continuously variable circuit tuning dynamically tweaks multiple parameters as you adjust the Drive, optimizing the signal path to sit in the ‘sweet spot’ at any gain setting. This results in a super-versatile drive pedal that is equally comfortable providing sparking clean and mildly-overdriven tones, to high-gain lead and heavily saturated distortion.

Read Before Using

pg 3

PRESENCE SWITCH

The minus (-) position provides clarity with a controlled top end that works well with many amps that have a brighter voice or extended top end character. The

enhanced (center) position extends the top end to allow for more sizzle on high gain tones. This works well with amps that have a warmer voicing, or if you want enhanced detail in the uppermost frequencies. When plugging directly into a power amp, the plus (+) position further increases high end detail that may be required. The plus (+) position will also deliver extended high end detail to the darkest amps.

PUSH SWITCH

Adding a mid-band EQ push just after the analog front-end gain results in pushing the subsequent drive stages harder, and tightens up the response. This works great

when looking for fat drive tones, or for pushing a distorted or on-the-edge amp into further breakup. For cleaner or more transparent tones, select the ‘normal’ position.

3-BAND EQ

Riverside’s 3 band EQ, with independent Bass, Middle and Treble knobs, is designed to complement your amp’s tone with the flexibility needed to dial in your sound effectively and efficiently. The controls are post-drive, meaning they effectively sculpt and shape the harmonics generated in Riverside’s gain stages.

GAIN SWITCH

The ‘low’ channel selects a gain structure that allows for a wide range of low to medium gain sounds while still getting heavily overdriven at maximum Drive settings. The

voicing is dynamic and touch-sensitive, and at high Drive settings is slightly ‘loose’ like a dimed vintage amp.

The ‘high’ channel increases the gain throughout the signal path and tightens things up. While still staying clean at lower Drive settings, the ‘high’ gain mode goes to heavy crunch and high gain as the Drive knob is increased.

Using MIDI unlocks a set of tools that can be used to load any of Riverside’s 300 preset locations and automate knob changes using a suitable MIDI controller or interface connected to Riverside’s EXP jack. This requires a MIDI controller/interface with at least one quarter-inch output or a Strymon MIDI EXP cable. (Check strymon.net/support/riverside for a list of compatible devices.)

Step 2 – Set MIDI Channel

This determines which MIDI channel Riverside will use to send and receive MIDI data. See the illustrated guide below for complete instructions.

NOTE: To select channel 4-16, you will need to connect Riverside to a MIDI device.



pg 19

MIDI – Configuring Riverside to Use MIDI (cont.)

This determines what kind of MIDI data is sent out by Riverside. Note that if you are only sending MIDI data to Riverside – the most common configuration – the MIDI Output mode must be set to OFF.

Step 3 – Set MIDI Output Mode

TIP: A simple way to check that communication is working is to send CC #10 with a value of 127 when the FAVORITE footswitch is off. This will turn the FAVORITE footswitch on if MIDI is properly connected and configured.

Turn the MIDDLE knob to select what kind of MIDI data is sent from Riverside to other MIDI devices. Both LEDs will flash momentarily as the mode is changed.

GREEN - ON: Using Riverside’s knobs and switches generates MIDI messages that are sent out of Riverside.

AMBER - THROUGH: Incoming MIDI messages are sent out of Riverside without any additional MIDI messages generated by Riverside.

RED - OFF (default): No MIDI messages are sent out of Riverside.

2Press and hold the FAVORITE footswitch while powering up the pedal. Once both LEDs flash, release the footswitch.

MIDI – Expression On/Off

Saving Presets in MIDI Mode

This setting selects whether Riverside will respond to incoming MIDI Expression messages. If your rig uses MIDI Expression messages with multiple pedals that are set to the same MIDI Channel, this setting can be used to determine which pedal(s) will respond to expression messages for a given preset.

Press the ON footswitch to store the setting to Riverside.

Turn the TREBLE knob to select whether Riverside will respond to incoming MIDI Expression messages (CC #100).

RED (momentary flash) - Riverside will not respond to MIDI Expression messages.

BLUE (momentary flash) - (default) Riverside will respond to MIDI Expression messages.

2Press and hold the ON footswitch until both LEDs blink. Release the ON footswitch.

MIDI Patch ChangesRiverside contains 300 preset locations, numbered sequentially from 0-299. Because MIDI Program Change messages have a maximum number of 128 (0-127) the presets are grouped into three MIDI patch banks.

- MIDI BANK 0 = PRESETS 0-127



Riverside always powers up in MIDI Patch Bank 0, so if you plan to stay within the first 127 presets, simply send a standard MIDI Program Change message to load a preset.

If you will be using MIDI Banks 1 and/or 2, it is advisable to send a standard MIDI Bank Change message “MIDI CC# 0 with a value equal to the MIDI Bank#” before each MIDI Program Change.

Selecting bank 0, patch 127 will put Riverside into Manual mode. In this mode, the pedal will be set to the current knob and switch settings. No preset data can be stored at this preset location.
